2019 Statistics
This report was generated using Health Canada data available from January 1, 2019 to December 31, 2019.
The Industrial Hemp Regulations (IHR) define “industrial hemp” as a cannabis plant – or any part of that plant – in which the concentration of THC is 0.3% (w/w) or less in the flowering heads and leaves. A licence from Health Canada is required to possess, cultivate, sell/provide, process, produce a derivative, import and/or export industrial hemp.
As per subsection 26(1) of the IHR, a holder of a licence that authorizes cultivation, other than as a plant breeder, must sow only seed of pedigreed status that is of an approved cultivar listed on Health Canada’s current List of Approved Cultivars.
